Kim Jong-il was probably amused...
All 3 of those skaters were SOUTH Korean... not North...

The American NBC analyst said before the race that the Americans would do the same if running together late in the race. That is just the way the game is played in Short-Track.
The moguls at Cypress was a good show tonight. Really nice job by Hannah Kearney to pip the home favorite on the last run. Congrats to the US on their first (of many I'm sure) Gold of 2010!
